Research Ethics for HCI: A Roundtable Discussion

An ongoing challenge within the HCI research community is the development of community norms for research ethics in the face of evolving technology and methods. Building upon a successful town hall meeting at CHI 2017, this panel will include members of the SIGCHI Research Ethics Committee, but will be structured to facilitate a roundtable discussion and to collect input about current challenges and processes. The panel will pose open questions and invite audience discussion of best practices focused on issues such as cultural and disciplinary differences in ethical norms. There will also be discussion of how ethical issues are handled in SIGCHI paper submission and reviews, processes for how we might create and disseminate ethics resources, and regulatory issues such as the recent IRB changes for U.S. institutions.
